34. John Lynch

Although Warren Sapp received most of the attention of the famed Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, Strong Safety, John Lynch anchored the secondary and leveled anyone who actually could get past their linemen.

With precision tackling and punishing hits, John Lynch quickly became a popular player in Florida and was respected throughout the NFL. Lynch’s strong play was rewarded with multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro Selections, but as a solid team player, his greatest reward was the Super Bowl Ring that he won with Tampa that was earned primarily on their defensive abilities. Entering his first year of eligibility, we consider Lynch likely on the wrong side of the bubble, and we are very curious whether the decision makers in question agree or not.

Should John Lynch be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in!
Maybe, but others deserve it first.
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.
No opinion.
No way!
